IMPRovEMENT mrmmc-cooLERs.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 143,840, dated October21, 1873; application filed July 19, 1873.

resents a vertical longitudinal section of my improved milk-cooler on'the line O O, Fig. 3; Fig. 2, avertical transverse section on the lineX X, Fig. 3; and Fig. 3, a top View of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts.

The object of my invention is to so improve the milk-coolers at presentin use that the corroding of the bottoms of the pans may be avoided, andsmall vessels, butter, and other articles be placed thereon for cooling.The invention consists in improving the construction of milkcoolers, ashereinafter described and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing, A represents the wooden frame of the cooler, which issupported on legs a. The water-chamber B is arranged on frame b bycovering it with a layer, O, of sheet metal, preferably zinc, which ispainted on both sides to resist the action of the water thereon. Thewater-course is produced by longitudinal partitions A, which connect'byapertures d at alternate ends, so that the water is compelled to take acircuitous course through chamber B. The cold water is introduced, inthe usual manner, by means of entrancepipe c of chamber B, passes thenaround the partitions b, and

is conducted oif through exit-pipe j'. One or more additional holes maybe arranged in the metal painted on both sides is placed on top of thewater-chamber, and attached, by means of border-frame E `and bolts h,firmly to main frame A. The milk-pan F is placed on cover D, beingcooled as readily as by being directly in contact with the water, zincespecially keeping the water cooler, and preventing the corrosion of thebottom of the milk-pan. The milkpans are thereby kept dry, and last agreat deal longer than when placed directly on the water. The top coverD forms, also, a table, which allows theluse of smaller pans, accordingto the quantity of milk obtained, keeping also butter and other articlescool, as they may be set thereon in any vessel.

The top can easily be separated for cleaning, painting, and repairingthe water-chamber, so that this cooler is of great advantage to farmersin several respects.

Having thus described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent' rlhe two metallic plates clamped over and under thesection B by a bolted top and bottom, in the manner described, to enableall parts of the device to be conveniently taken to pieces, cleaned, andagain readily put together.
